This paper shows that if M is a compact simply connected homogeneous space which is not diffeomorhic to a symmetric space of rank one, then the Betti numbers with \({\mathbb{Z}}_ 2\)-coefficients of the free loop space of M are unbounded. As a corollary, the authors extend a result of Gromoll-Meyer to show that any Riemannian metric on M has infinitely many geometrically different closed geodesics.
